Central Retail Corp IPO - Proxy trading only 2.6% up

Central Retail Corp (CRC TB) is looking to raise up to US$2.4bn through selling a mix of primary and secondary shares.

We have previously covered the IPO in, Central Retail Corp IPO - Thailand Operations Weighed Down Vietnam Food’s Stellar Performance

We value CRC by sum of the parts, subtracting post-IPO net debt and non-controlling interest, we arrive at a fair value of THB274,848 (US$9,055m) which implies only 14% potential upside from the bottom-end of the price range.

Larger Thailand IPOs have had mixed results but even for smaller deals such as Dohome that have done well, its share price is back to IPO price level which isn’t exactly inspiring. The point being that Thailand IPOs performance hasn’t been inspiring.

Robins, since the start of the bookbuild, has only traded up 2.6% above the stipulated acquisition price of THB66.50 per share, indicating that interest is somewhat lacklustre
